Final Fantasy XIV - Kiwi Free Company

We need to save them so we can harvest their shit to use for...whatever it is they use it for I forgot already.
They use it for everything, and I mean everything. Including "sanitary" purposes. Because brushing your teeth with literal buffalo shit and seasoning your food with literal buffalo shit is good for it. I guess.

Reminder that a not-insignificant amount of flavor text for the sidequests constantly revolves around how literal shit is consumed by many of the cultures.
 
It's a wonder they all haven't died out.

They eat shit, bathe in shit, treat illness with shit and worship shit.
Sound like 60% of twitter's userbase.
Even native americans didn't use that much shit....at least I don't think.

Eat too much shit and eventually you will also become shit.
Welp we found the reason why every culture in Tural sucks chode. Pack it in ya wankstains. We've found the one piece.
We just have to teach them to not eat shit with our superior colonist cuisine from Eorzea.

Plains Indians used buffalo chips as a fuel source because the Plains weren't known for having an abundance of firewood.

The reason why I think this is a mistranslation issue (although I'm curious what @Gravemind is referring to with other quests talking about shit, lol) is that it feels like it is the discussion is meant to be talking about how useful the Not Buffalo are for their culture and how the animal serves a variety of purposes while also talking about using their waste.

Like there is a real world analogue, but it feels like they messed it up.
 
There are people malding over the final DT role quest because apparently it turned our character into a cop and the Viera lady was a poor victim who did nothing wrong or something. I don’t know I never did any of the DT role quests and don’t care enough to do so.

You know how in James Cameron's Avatar they do that thing where the tribal aliens live as one with nature and never unnecessarily hurt living creatures because muh ecosystem, while the more advanced humans are pure evil and exist to cause suffering and destruction? It's supposed to be the pro-environmental but it falls flat beyond the most surface level imagery because it's completely disconnected from what living with nature would actually be like. Just like the Na'vi the Hhetsarro are shown as living in an incredibly convenient environment without worrying about food, disease, maintaining their population, etc.
Meanwhile my ass is making steaks out of their sacred cows to summon the S-Rank Hunt.
 
Just to clarify, I was talking about the Pelupelu tribal quests where you're dealing with handling alpacas (omg SO Latinx!!!!!!11) and those stupid manatee things.
Oh yeah, that's getting pretty annoying too. If you're levelling from 80, you go from helping elephant delivery services in the jungle to helping midget travel services in the jungle. It's shocking no-one on the team pointed out how similar these beast tribe questlines are compared to Pixies, Kojin, Vanu Vanu.

A big part of them is also about food.
The elephant one has them as grubhub deliveroos, and in the newest one they have highwaymen working as chefs making tacos.

I'm suffering from SAAR and spic fatigue.
 
It's me. I'm the taco eater. I prefer soft shell though.
:suffering:

I unno. That's what the rest of us want to know.
You must be suffering from rice withdrawal. Don't worry, we also eat rice. But it's much more flavorful.
>shells
>not tortillas
>not real mexican

>Just like the expansion

:lossmanjack:
 
For those that are complaining about tacos, remember Dawntrail was consulted by Latino slanted consultancy firms. Those fuckers are maybe 30% Hispanic if I’m being generous. They also know fuck all about their own culture.
I bet "Latinos" are just those born in NA with latino parents which explains this dumb fucking approach to the culture
 
those people use latinx unironically so yeah
And thus they fet shunned by actual latinos and they disgust me whenever they say "Latinx".


Also i noticed that they changed Beast tribe Quest and now says Society quests. Why the fuck they changed it?

because the pelupelu aren't beasts
(this didn't stop the Dwarves from Shadowbringers being called Beast Tribes.)
 
(although I'm curious what @Gravemind is referring to with other quests talking about shit, lol)
One specific example I can remember clearly is that there's a sidequest early-ish on in Urqopacha where it turns out that people let the local animals eat their coffee beans, and then collect them after they've been shitted out because it enhances the flavor, which, as I understand, is a thing that actually happens in some parts of the real world, but that is the very first instance of the people of Tural thriving off of shit that I think I saw. A handful more instances showed up in sidequest flavor text from then on out that I don't remember the details of, but it was prominent enough that it made go "You know, it's really weird how obsessed with shit the writer for these quests was."

It's a change they've been intending to implement for a while now, and it's because they felt "Beast Tribe" was too real world racist while also retroactively stating that it's considered in-universe racist Lalafell propaganda as well.

But nobody wants to focus on the fact that the Lalafells were the ones who coined the term in the first place.

The elephant one has them as grubhub deliveroos
At least Elefun Initial D was... You know, fun.

Yeah, come to think of it, none of this shit is even authentic because the hard shell taco was a distinctly American invention whereas tortillas and "soft" tacos have always been the more traditional way of things. That's a layer of retarded writing I didn't even consider until now.
